Naturopathic medicine is a distinct healthcare profession that combines natural, non-toxic therapies with current advances in healthcare. Naturopathic physicians are clinically trained in a wide variety of natural therapeutics, adapted to each patient, with a focus on preventative and whole patient care.
Therapies which may be used by a Naturopath include:
- Clinical Nutrition
- Herbal medicine
- Massage
- Aromatherapy
- Counselling
- Flower Essences
- Iridology
- Basic Homeopathy
- Counselling and Stress Management
- Mineral Therapy
Depending upon his/her interests and skills, a naturopath may focus on a few or all of these areas.
Naturopaths co-operate with all other branches of medical science, referring to other practitioners for treatment or diagnosis when appropriate.
